Crucial

Jesuit Dominic Robinson believes

Crucial to our understanding of what we are invited to do in this year [of Faith] is what the last two popes have called the ‘new evangelisation’.

Fr. Robinson touches on several things in his post at ThinkingFaith: the term, new evangelization; its use by Popes Benedict and John Paul; how the term developed from the Second Vatican Council.

Writing from the British Catholic experience, his insights may hold true for all developed countries and for others. “The concept of the new evangelisation is rich, encompassing a variety of themes, but the key to them all is surely dialogue.” Dialogue is important across borders, classes and socioeconomic groupings.
